Some day, in maybe 300 years, someone will find a photo with my face in it, they won't know who I am, what I did or what happened to me.

We all become forgotten faces in a photo, unless of course you're a NECRO THREAD!!!!

 

[Florenus]

Er like it sez.

I'll respond to this question and explain in about 5 years.

 

[AngryAntz]

Some day (hopefully) long into the future when I am nothing but dust, someone will necro one of my threads and I shall live again.

 

[Bigmaec]

Can't wait to necro this thread in a year or so

edit @Florenus ninja!

 

[[PS4] Lorenzo Waringos]

I guess we can expect some necro threads from 4 years ago to be picked up by the devs as they snap into action and fix some of the bugs

 

[varonica]

The similar threads "feature"!

 

[Rat Catcher]

Boredom over the current plethora of particularly asinine threads?

Ha, I was going to suggest Bill should have searched the archive for an old thread asking about necro threads and posted there.

 

[Speedcuffs]

I particularly enjoy the salty rage necros!

 

[Navigare Necesse Est]

I'm no nerco! I just complain so long about the same things!

 

[Factabulous]

starts looking for a previous thread raging about necros to resurrect

 

[GroG79]

Usually on Sundays

I suppose it goes back to the old joke about feedback to a writer from a publisher.

"This was both original and good. However the parts that were good were not original and the parts that were original were not good."

 

[Slowfiddler]

"O7. I have a problem with [insert issue here]."

"Known issue, search tool is your friend."

"Great! Found this thread from 2017 but it seems to be out of date now."

"NECRO! LOCK THE THREAD!"

 

[Vetinari]

this. Some people obviously successful at using the search function so get called necromancers and others ignore it and we get 16 Open Only variations. Sometimes people cant win and what seems to be annoying is actually the correct solution.

Besides, you aint achieved anything on the forum until you see that someone just liked a post of yours from 18 months ago.

 

[CMDR Yates]

Meh, often it's something that's still relevant. Doesn't bother me much.

Threads with non-descriptive titles are bigger problem on this forum than necroed threads. Ones entitled stuff like "Strange" and "Uh, is this real?" and "So... Frontier...". It's not an email subject line. I shouldn't have to click into someone's thread to know if it's something I care about or not.
